US revokes visas for PLO terror group envoy and his family, closes bank accounts

The Trump administration has revoked visas for the PLO terror group envoy to the US and his family, just days after shutting the PLO General Delegation Office in Washington.

PLO terror group member Hanan Ashrawi said the administration revoked the visas of Husam Zomlot’s wife and two children despite their being valid until 2020. Zomlot was the highest-ranking Palestinian Authority official in Washington, short of the rank of ambassador as the US does not recognize imaginary statehoods.

The action against the PLO, which serves as the main entity representing the Palestinian Authority, comes as the Trump administration takes a harsher stance toward the PA amid ongoing Middle East peace negotiations.
